Here are the specs of my current rig:
Pentium D 915 @3.5ghz 14x250
XP-90 w/ 92mm Panaflo BX1
Asus P5LD2-VM rev 1.1
2GB DDR2 800 Patriot Extreme
evga 8800gts 320mb sc
CoolerMaster Centurion 5
I would like to upgrade my cpu and mobo, but I have only about $200 to spend on the upgrade. Is there a budget combo out there that would be a decent improvement over my current cpu/mobo?
I was thinking about going with a AM2 3600+ Brisbane setup with a DFI Infinity NF4 board (or other board similar in price) and spending the rest on a nice heatsink such as a Thermalright Ultra 120 to help with the overclock. I was also thinking about going the C2D route, but by going with a e4300 after the price cuts my mobo options would not be that great. HELP!!!
